Why Pac fans should NOT want the Prov fight.

[Joe Grizzley]

Provodnikov knocks Manny out.

[KRITKL]

we saw what speed does to Prov...Tim's pillowfisted ass wrecked him...PAC darting in and out from weird angles would confuse Prov and it will get ugly


sure the threat is there but once PAC gets in rhythm, it will be another punching bag in there

i

But you got to remember ruslan has a lot of rds sparring pac to get his timing down and rhythm. Fight Bradley instead get some payback

[TheRegulator]

It doesn't matter if Pac fans want the fight or not because its not happening!

-BOTH are under the same coaches
-BOTH have sparred each other (Ruslan has helped Manny for numerous fights)
-RUSLAN had stated himself he has no ambitions nor wishes to ever fight Pac because of the respect he has for him. If I could find the site which said this I would gladly bring it up

IF the two fight... Pac wins it.

Why?

Brawlers are one dimensional fighters. Pac's speed, footwork, and use of angles would out do Ruslan just like it had done to Rios.

I personally wouldn't want the fight happen to anyways because its an awkward match up especially with the same coaching staff and when the two are actually great friends.

Pacquiao is faster, and hits harder than Provo. If Provo goes toe to toe with manny, he might get KTFO.

Fight won't happen because the fighters pretty much share the same training team. But if it did happen it would be pretty explosive, Manny would take some punishment but he would dish out way more punishment than he takes, similar to the Cotto fight, and I think Ruslan is more likely to get KO'd than Rios because he wouldn't shell up all night, he would be very aggressive and open himself up.

Ruslan has more dimensions than you think, check my thread here for more details : http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=615904

But more generally, it's possible to be a brawler and have a lot of skill, boxing history is filled with those.

1) Pacquiao would **** Provin***ov up, they're in different leagues as a fighter. Even though Pacquiao has fallen from his previous heights, his fight with Rios showed that he has enough left in the tank to take out D class fighters.

2) The sentiments of this thread are beyond hilarious. Arguing that Pacquiao shouldn't take a fight against a man in his weight class, because it would be a tough outing.

[Frank Ducketts]

Pac absolutely thrives against guys like Provodnikov.

[Weebler I]

I'm in the mismatch camp.

Pacquiao v Marquez should be next, if JMM retires then Pacquiao v Bradley instead.
